Anyone got full version of RAR 1.01, or it is only UnRAR ? There are even information about version beta from 1.32 to 1.36 but can't find them.

I got too second question. What is original name of RAR 2.06 Polish version ? I see one on those site but with original name I can find other old Polish version.

UnRAR had it's own version numbering. The very first public UnRAR 1.01 was released together with RAR 1.52.

There are even information about version beta from 1.32 to 1.36 but can't find them.

RAR 1.36 is actually there (exe only though). The earliest version that's been found as original sfx package is 1.37.

The very first version that was more or less widely spread outside of small group of RAR authors' friends (who tested it) was RAR 1.30. So there's nearly zero chance that some of older versions still can be found anywhere. Versions 1.30-1.35 weren't found as well, only help files from it.

Thank you for those information. I know how to find 2.x beta version on some ftp just by name like:

rarx26b5.exe
rarx26b6.exe
rarx26b7.exe
rarx26b8.exe
rarx270.exe
rarx271.exe
rarx27b1.exe
rarx27b2.exe
rarx27b3.exe
rarx27b5.exe
rarx28b1.exe
rarx28b2.exe
rarx28b3.exe
rarx28b4.exe
rarx28b5.exe

So now I have just to find version between 1.51 and 3.93 that was missing on those site
